And to be fair Gumby is totally off his heiny looking for jobs all day every day, but I cannot help feel a little bit of resentment in the fact that I am working at a job all day that I hate and he gets to sit at home and when I complain about my job and say I wish I could quit I get the "It's not it's all cracked up to be" lecture about sitting at home and not being part of the work force, but honestly? I have been part of the work force for over 10 years, and doing it for another 30 is not sounding so hot right now.

Or maybe I am totally overreacting and I am totally over-focused on my feelings because this is one of the few areas of my life where I am unhappy and maybe it will just all go away in a few weeks once I understand what the hell this project is about.

Oh if it weren't for TMF and FB I would have gone completely stir-crazy by now.

I'm pretty much been doing TMF for 7 years. At times it seemed more like a job than my real job(s) and I backed off from time to time. Facebook is fun for 5 min distractions, but for longterm preoccupation, it sucks.

My drug of choice for the last 2 years has been astroempires.com, but even that gets boring, and I play on all 7 servers.

I've run an ebay business from work. I've written 37,000 posts here, at least 1000 of which have some sort of actual content. I've listened to at least 100 unabridged audiobooks, including the entire King James bible twice and the Qur'an once. I've built and destroyed relationships. I've slept for what probably adds up to an entire year. I've played texas holdem on my cell phone for weeks at a time. I've made sculptures out of erasers and push pins. But in the end, I am just as bored as I was when it all began.

Wow. That really sucks. I wake up every morning excited to go to work. I think you underestimate the mental drain having a sucky job has. Are you just there because it's easy and you're lazy? Why don't you find something you love?
